Nah not for that. That’s how I get banned from Lemmy instances. As cool as federation is without terms of service you can see it’s more fragmented as people block instances and stuff. I doubt Lemmy NSFW would let me make my communites and really, I don’t want to deal with it.

I don’t want to deal with people being shitty about my tastes in fiction.

Yep, the internet used to be counter culture. Now it’s controlled opposition at best.

I love lemmy but it doesn’t have my brands of smut. Reddit still does.

Way ahead. I deleted my Amazon 😉

He’s not worth more than 3 words from me. Thank you for standing up for truth. I know it’s a loosing battle on the internet.

The fact of the matter is, all major platforms are shifting to techno-fascism. Not all have yet but ALL private tech platforms are not to be trusted. This is not tinfoil hat shit. We have well documented 20 years worth of how these technologies are used against us. Not in American but elsewhere. Stories we heard that were then quickly buried under the other stories. People that pay attention should know how paper thin our digital rights are right now.

No. It doesn’t.

I made my switch around the inauguration. When I saw all the big tech guys standing together. That’s a big red flag. Even if reddit wasn’t represented.

“What are you going to do vote for the facists?”

–stays home

“Wait…”

(In all seriousness, the two party system killed us. The first thing we should have could have fixed was ranked choice voting but they would never mandate that because it would break their hold. Also despite my joke above I did vote but I’m not going to get pissy with someone that didn’t the problem is the party not the voter. Unless they voter actively voted red.)

I saw this scene at 11 years old and I didn’t stop laughing for 15 minutes.

To be fair, file structure navigation became more of a pain in the ass when Microsoft decided to rework their start menu to feed into their fucking store/web browser. It’s not a hard fix but tablet natives wouldn’t know any better. At work I still end up accidently searching the web sometimes when im searching for a file that wasn’t important enough to pin. I know basic file structure the modern UIs are just trash and not designed for local users.

They don’t care. If there is no immediate and severe punishment for it then it doesn’t matter if we ‘know.’ In 10 years the only line will be the official one and we’ll just look like conspiracy theorists with half remembered facts. They dont think you’re stupid, they know they’ll get aways with it and they don’t think about you at all.
